G8 Diff Question
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2017 6:31 pm
Will a diff from a G8 work in our cars? Do you need a auto car or a stick shift? What ratios do they have? Thanks
Yes, it will, but the standard G8 diff is the same 2.92:1 ratio as what you already have. If you wanted a better ratio, you'd need a G8 GXP rear, which is going to be pretty rare. It's a 3.27:1 ratio for automatic cars, or 3.70:1 for manual cars.
A newer Camaro diff will also work. They come in 3.27:1 for autos and 3.45:1 for manuals, and some other rarer ratios. Watch out for the 3.27:1 diffs. The V8 cars got LSD differentials, but a lot of the lesser models got open ratio 3.27:1 diffs. There's a tag on the differential that says what its ratio is, and if it's Limited Slip.
